Donnybrook - Tangier/Moroccan Civilians 1680



I originally bought the Sally Forth Market with Tangier in mind, so I needed some North African
civilians to inhabit my little part of Tangier. The figures are from a variety of manufacturers.
Perry minis, from Their Crusade range,  Irregular minis and some Indian civilians doubling up as Moors from Eureka  minis ( a cheap and great buy from ebay!)


And here they are in the same market as my last post.


With 1 change?


Out goes the beer tent and in comes the Weaver selling his colourful rugs and carpets!
And no, none of them can fly!


Yes I know it does indeed look a tad too green and lush in the background
but hey ho, just look at the carpets instead, which were included in the market set from Sally Forth.

  8. Great batch of Middle Eastern civilians Ray - one of the advantages of that part of the world for wargamers is the scenery and inhabitants look pretty much the same from the 13th to the 21st centuries - I have used the same buildings in 18th century India or N Africa, 19th century Sudan and 21st century Iraq and Afghanistan!

  9. Awesome stuff, Ray. There's a lot of work on show and plenty of eye candy. Definitely conjures up memories of Raiders Of The Lost Ark for me.

  11. Fun fact: did you know that adult men of Morocco like to walk the streets holding hands? It is a custom there, being friendly in that way.

  12. Whilst fit for Tangiers, these civililians (and the market) are excellent for many other areas of the world and across many eras of history too - great additions Ray.
